Painting with bleach – Available on My Etsy Shop CARENSCANVASANDCRAFT for a limited time!

Having now got into the swing of the New year I feel the creations queue growing inside me and its definitely time to get on and let them out. Having completed the first A3  sized bleach painting of a forest for Ronnie I carried on and did another for my Etsy shop. Although they are all of a similar scene (from my imagination) each one is also unique and original, it would be impossible whilst using bleach and water to replicate an exact copy and so they are more of a series by that respect.

Painting with bleach is quite exciting and very experimental as you have to wait for it to dry out before knowing the result and whether or not it needs reworking and so the process goes on, painting in reverse, ‘removing’ the picture onto the paper, until I am happy with the effect.

Bleach on this particular black card has produced a green tinged effect to the scene (which hasn’t been picked up very well by my poor photographic efforts with my little Fujifilm camera) which I must admit I quite like now. It turns out to be less harsh and somehow more mysterious than a stark white on black!
 
More bleach paintings coming soon :-)!

Ronnie's forest bleach painting

Ronnie’s forest bleach painting

After showing an experimental imaginary bleach painting on WordPress.com last year I was asked by our family friend, Ronnie, if I would do a larger version for him. As everything art and craft wise became quite hectic in the run up to the holidays, I said it would be in the new year – and here it is as promised.

This painting was done on standard A3 black card, (double the size of the first one) using nothing more than a little brush, domestic bleach and water with a touch of imagination!

After having a preview of the larger version, Ronnie was ”Really pleased with it!” my Mum informed me and now it is in a glazed frame on its way to be hung in his apartment.

Thanks for your continuing support Ronnie! 🙂 (I know he reads my blog!!!)

Mysteries of the forest – Eyes are watching you! – A bleach painting

Here’s something new! I thought I would try painting just with pure bleach on a brush over black card. This was the result – I had no idea where this was going and just went with the flow, obviously I only had one chance at this, bleach and black card are not favourable to mistakes!! Maybe it is something I will have as my new favourite thing to practice, though not too often,. as I did have a sore throat after this attempt from the bleach fumes in a sunny conservatory

Life seems so hectic at the moment, I just don’t seem to be able to catch up with myself, I am producing so many different things craft and art wise, for so many different events I have almost forgotten to put them on my Etsy site or Word press, I hope to catch up in the next few days. Christmas looming, craft event people phoning to book me, spontaneous new ideas, combined with me playing with new designs for the fabric I bought last week all means I have little or no time to sleep—-So much to do and create!!!!!!!! Goodness, help my hoover, when I eventually get around to tidying… NO forget that idea, that can definitely wait……anyways here’s the first attempt with bleach and black card – whatever you read into it!

 

Mysteries of the forest - night-time goings on - eyes watching over you!

I was having one of those days where I didn’t know what I wanted to paint. So, I put my brain in gear with my paintbrush –  I just let my imagination take me to the place you see above. I suppose I created a scene of where I wanted to be. Sometimes letting your imagination loose , shows you what you really want! I created my thoughts and put them on canvas for the world to enjoy too!
